July promises to be a big month for movies, starting with this weekend's Jurassic World Rebirth. However, for superhero fans, it's all about Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps

Both titles are hugely important for their respective studios. DC Studios hopes to restore a tarnished brand by rebooting its most iconic character, while Marvel Studios is looking to bounce back after Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts* underperformed. 

Rotten Tomatoes recently polled its users to discover which of July's movies they're most looking forward to, and Superman comes out on top. The Fantastic Four: First Steps places third, behind Jurassic World Rebirth

1. Superman
2. Jurassic World Rebirth
3. The Fantastic Four: First Steps
4. The Old Guard 2
5. Eddington

Marvel Studios hasn't begun its final marketing push for the reboot yet, but it appears that awareness of Superman is quite a bit higher at this stage. 

Marvel or DC fan, it's going to be an exciting few weeks. Rotten Tomatoes' users might have chosen the Man of Steel over Marvel's First Family, but we'd rather hear which of their movies you're most looking forward to sitting down and watching in theaters this month.

You can cast your votes and make your voices heard below: Superman or The Fantastic Four: First Steps?

Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they face their most daunting challenge yet.

Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.

Superman, DC Studios' first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.  

The movie stars David Corenswet in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

Matt Shakman's The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to be released in theaters on July 25, with James Gunn's Superman arriving two weeks earlier on July 11.

Superman for me and honestly I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Not expecting I Know to break new ground but I love that OG one. Lots of nostalgia for that one.

@lazlodaytona - ive had my fair share of personal attacks from them too!

But let's be honest, the Snydercucks are extremely toxic...i never thought Gunn would have the same types in his fanbase 👀😭

JoshWilding - 7/4/2025, 8:45 AM
@Irregular - It is just one review, so yeah, not putting too much stock in it. However, the reviewer isn't a superhero movie hater - he positively reviewed Peacemaker and GOTG 3, as well as several MCU movies. I'm still looking forward to it, but think it could be a misfire from Gunn, too.

@JoshWilding - No but some of his reviews seem a bit over-dramatic to elicit attention.

Like this one

Captain America: Brave New World’ Will Save the Flailing Marvel Universe!
"It’s been so long since a Marvel movie was good, we almost didn’t recognize it."

Legit his article lol.

Superman is already [frick]ing leading the pack in audience anticipation, it [frick]ing topped Rotten Tomatoes’ July poll ahead of Jurassic World Rebirth and The Fantastic Four.

That’s not just fan hype; it [frick]ing shows real interest among general moviegoers.

DC Studios has [frick]ing massive momentum: early screenings have reportedly tested very well, and industry analysts expect it to [frick]ing open with one of the biggest superhero debuts since Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Like it or not, Superman’s [frick]ing awareness is higher than Marvel’s Fantastic Four reboot right now, and the marketing hasn’t even [frick]ing started properly yet.

Facts don’t [frick]ing lie, the Man of Steel is set to soar.

For [frick]s Sake

@THEKENDOMAN - I definitely agree with you.

Apophis71 - 7/4/2025, 9:19 AM
@THEKENDOMAN - On the one hand when it comes to polls, he should be number one cos its Superman for fricks sake, only ones that SHOULD challenge the number one spot is if up against Spider-Man or Batman as it almost always was tween those three for top Supe for most of the last 50yrs.

After that Jurassic is a known entity which even when bad continued to do well at the BO.

Flipside is, I don't trust online polls, a lot of interest doesn't always relate with quality or even ticket sales and if anything on a list of options plays into cultural politics or other things likely to draw in statistical skews for reasons other than what folk wanna watch (Snyderbots for instance) then the figures are oft meaningless.

As such, I'd say the fact Superman is above JW is hugely significant, beyond that unsure what to take away from the list as the three that kinda SHOULD be top 3 are (hadn't even heard of Eddington but Pedro must be happy to have two in the top five) and the order COULD be skewed by bots but impossible to tell.

@Apophis71 - I totally [frick]ing agree.

You know this just all to start the [frick]ing talks, hating and loving of the [frick]ing movies.

At the [frick]ing end, you will judge when you [frick]ing see it yourself 👊🏿

@THEKENDOMAN - I NEVER got the whole DC V Marvel BS, it is OK to like both, my top 5 since high school has always included ones from both. So yeh, it is oft manufactured clickbait in many cases when they try to make it a competition, but also competition counters complacency thus SHOULD make both better when both doing well.

🚨 Attention All DC Fans! 🚨

Superman hits theaters next week, and it’s time to stay [frick]ing strong. The polls are real, Superman is leading the hype, and the haters can’t stand it.

Don’t let their bullshit get to you. We’re on the brink of DC’s big comeback, and next week we show up, show out, and take these mother[frick]ers down.

Keep the faith. The Man of Steel is about to soar, and we’re all in this together.

#DCForever #SupermanRises

@THEKENDOMAN - “…take these mother[frick]ers down”

Dude…you aren’t hard. This isn’t a fight. This isn’t the Sharks versus the Jets.

Like, who are you “taking down,” exactly? How are you doing it…by buying a movie ticket? Badass! Hardcore! That’ll show them…whoever “them” are. Dude, no one cares about your imagined petty rivalries with nameless nerds on the internet.

“We’re all in this together.” You’re not storming Normandy beach, my guy.

Superman looks good. I can’t wait to see it.

But calm the [frick] down. You sound like a [frick]ing lunatic.

Where the [frick] do you think you [frick]ing are?

This is [frick]ing……..CBM!!

We are at [frick]ing War.🙌

And I’m clearly leading a battalion of [frick]ing sweaty nerds straight into the IMAX trenches — Normandy style, baby! 🪖🎟️

Buying a [frick]ing movie ticket? Hardcore as [frick]ing shyte, I know. It’s practically [frick]ing guerrilla warfare.

For [frick]s Sake
